Effects of this bill

If this bill passes, it means that:

a new NSW government agency — the Future Jobs and Investment Authority — is created to support economic development in regions whose economies depend on coal mining or coal-fired power generation
a Future Jobs and Investment Fund is established to finance transition projects, programs, and services for coal-dependent regions
a Future Jobs and Investment Board and local advisory committees represent specific coal regions and advise the Authority and Minister
coal mine operators who intend to close a mine must formally notify the Minister within specified timeframes — failure to notify is an offence
coal mine operators who have given a closure notice must prepare and maintain workforce plans to support affected workers
coal-fired power station operators must provide the Minister with closure information when required
